Description

Currently if there is a problem during changes.xml parsing, the exception is caught and logged, but the changes-report goal is executed successfully.

This is misleading as from the result it seems everything was fine, however a fatal error occurred.

There is also a FIXME comment here that suggests an exception should be thrown: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-changes-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/changes/ChangesXML.java (line 101)
